Independent in Hastings from NZ$132

"Clean hotel, communal areas are lovely and breakfast is great. Our room was not as I’d expected. It was small and was worn with chips in furniture and cold! I asked for extra bedding and this was provided, I was also offered a heater for the room as the radiator was not working. I can’t see how the room could have been described as delux double as it was an attic room and the sloping walls meant a mirror couldn’t be hung above the sink so shaving was difficult. "

"A lovely unspoilt hotel which still has all its classic features and isn’t a bland, generic place. Breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in awhile. It all tasted fresh and didn’t look like it had been sitting around for hours."

"Quirky room. Very centrally located."

"Good location. Friendly helpful staff. Delicious breakfast. Large comfortable bed and plenty of space in standard double room. Lovely toiletries. The walkway from car park at back of hotel to front door in need of smartening up. "

"Beautiful sea view room with balcony. Very clean. "

"Lovely hotel, nice food warm welcome, nice polite friendly staff, good value. Will definitely stay again. "
